GST Council Sets New Rules for Goods Inspection and Seizure

At the 57th GST Council meeting, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced new rules to streamline goods movement and tighten checks. Only officers from the supplier or destination state can inspect, detain, or seize goods. Interceptions require specific intelligence and authorization from at least a Joint Commissioner. These measures aim to reduce unnecessary checks and ease interstate goods transport.
